Great kentucky stakes.

LOUISVILLE, December 18th. : The
Louisville Jockey Club has completed
arrangements whereby, in the Spring Of
1889, there will be run at its racecourse
of mile and a quarter, for stake OF
$4,000, perhaps the richest ever run in
America. The conditions are modelled
after those of the great English Eclipse
stakes. 1t will require great many en-
tries to fill the stake of such value, but
the terms of entry are such that owners
and breeders can we'll afford to make
nominations, the forfefts being compare
lively light, when the odds are taken
into consideration. For the first year
after the entry is made the forfeit is only
$50; the odds therefore are $50 to
SOC. 900. For that time it will be seen
that even the place money for second
and third places is greater than the
value OF the great majority of stakes.
Should horse change hands before the
event the nominator still has his chance
of large winning, since part of the
stake goes to the nOminators of the
three placed horses,
The proposed plan was widely dis
cussed at gathering OF horsemen at
Lexington yesterday and the day before,
and Kentucky breeders seemed eager to
take advantage of this opportunity for
the advancement of their interests. Year
by year Kentucky becomes more and
more distictly the center of the thorough
bred interest, and such a stake as this,
ruiz on her own soil, viii do much to
maintain the supremacy Of the State in
al equine matters. The stake is to be
called tile Great Kentuc Stake. The
entries close January 10, 1897.

on.nese Idea of the rrnhoon.

a little school boy while on his way to
school one day picked up what seemed to
him small white pebble. He put it
into his pocket. 1t proved to be a snake
egg, and in time through the heat of his
pocket it Matched out young reptile
The boy fell in love with it and carried
1t from day to day to school with him,
and fed it with part of his own lunch
until it became too big to be carried,
when he made nest for it at his home.
But one day it suddenly grew to an
enormous size, and upon the boys arrival
home he was frightened to death. When
the monster saw what he had done he
was sorely afflicted and refused to be fed,
but Immediately put on mourning by
turning his color from brown into pure
black. He crawled beside the grave of
his departed friend and lay there for
seven days and nights
At the completion of the seventh night
he came back to his late home, but the
boys old mother was so enraged at him
for killing her only son that she picked
up an ak and choppepd his tail off.
With fearful scream and a lash of his
bleeding tail he felled the house and
made his way to the Moo Soon San
mountains, where he never shows him
self except once a year, just about the
time when he lost his tail, to come out
and make trouble for the people by Great
ing storms called the ''Tyfoon." This he
does to square himself for losing his valu-
able tail.-Wong Chin Foo in New York

MAYOR AMEs SWORN IN.
The Democratic Candidate for Gov
ernor Takes the Oath of Office.
He Says He Has Evidence That Will
Make a Sensation Later.

In accordance with his intentions as an
nounced several times, Mayor Ames yes
terday took the oath of Office as governor
of Minnesota. The oath was subscribed
to before Judge Cory, of the municipal
court and was duly filed in the
office of the secretary of state.
When asked by GLOBE reporter yester-
day whether he was jesting in taking the
oath. or whether he had something back OF
1t, Mayor Ames replied most emphatically
that he was not jeStng, that fling his oath
was merely the preliminary step 20 what
was to follow. He said he should apply to
the supreme court tor writ of quo war
ranto against Mr.. McGill and should con-
test the election of that gentleman. He
said he had evidence, and plenty of it, that
would create a sensation when made pub
lie, and that the whole matter was in the
hands of his attorneys. He proposed to
make it interesting for Mr.. McGill.
ID. B. johnson. of Minneapolis, the at
torney for DR.. Ames. ACCOMPANIED him to
the capitol yesterday morning. The two
had been present when the results had been
announced by the state canvassing board.
DR.. AmeS. after taking the oath, walked
into the governors room, and in a good
humored vein demanded that the office be
turned over to him. This was not done.
Several members of the Republican state
central committee were at the capitol, and
when they heard of the action of Mayor
Ames they did not seem pleased. 1t was ru-
nored that Mr. McGill was also not inclined
TO be pleased with the action of his late OPP
ponent. Mr.. johnson said the case would
be taken into the supreme court, though
just what the grounds of contest were ne
did not saw
